Koker Stoel by Atelier Van Lieshout

In the shop of Atelier van Lieshout you can buy this chair, the Koker chair, made by a material amply available in Joep’s Atelier, steel tubes or kokers in Dutch, hence the name “Koker Stoel” for “Tube Chair”

German author Goethe wrote: “It is in self-limitation that a master first shows himself ”. This certainly holds true for the Koker Chair. Joep van Lieshout set himself the task of designing a chair using only the materials available in his workshop. He ended up using square metal tubes, known as kokers in Dutch.

Nef Highback by Patrick Norguet

Nef Highback by Patrick Norguet

Patrick Norguet has designed Nef for EMU, a new collection in aluminium entirely inspired by the pleasure of being outdoors, the result of a skillful combination of eclectic style and “visual lightness”. The tubular frame is combined with a seat in pressed sheet metal. The interwoven polyester cords, with a grid created using aisi316 stainless steel clips, lends a natural feeling of comfort and warmth: the structure has generous dimensions that both protect the person seated and allow them to see and hear. The grid uses an innovative fastening system.

Nef is a diverse collection, both in terms of the type of materials used and the range of chairs in the series, including models for the dining room and lounge, with backrests at different heights. Cushions and low tables soon will complete the series.

The Real Armchair by Adrian Pearsall

Finally I found it at Pamono, uhm not 100 % sure, because Pamono only attributed it to Adrian.
You see that if you put too much effort in a search which doesn’t deliver, it is better to turn away, do something else and come back. My last post was a month ago.

Moved, new Theme, new Header and 14th Anniversary


I have moved the site to another hosting company, a Dutch hosting company VDX NL. In addition I have chosen another theme and another header, a  photo of the Filo Sofa. Unfortunately the sofa is a one off project, but in my view it is a must have!

April 30, 2007, I started this blog, not anticipating how many chairs I would be able to feature. More than 5,000 already and going strong. Not paying attention to the real ugly or middle of the road ones….

14 years is the age of a grownup Teenager. I am 5 times older myself, but like to tell everybody who wants to know my mind and attitude stopped aging after my 14nth Birthday.

Crazy Chair by Peter van Zoetendaal

Like Alessandro Mendini who inspires with re interpretations of certain designs, Peter van Zoetendaal re interprets an Ikea Chair, the Ivar Chair, by giving it the red and blue chair (by Gerit Thomas Rietveld) color scheme and adding 2 knobs, which 2 knobs would be a deadly sin for a real “De Stijl” member…
